Hi Everyone,
Please review my fix for JDK-8141445.
JDK-8141445 describes an issue seen only on Solaris/SPARC M7 hardware running Solaris 11.3 or later when the libadimalloc.so library is
preloaded before running the JVM and the JVM crashes due to a memory allocation fault triggered by libadimalloc.so. Currently when
libadimalloc.so triggers a memory allocation fault the SIGSEGV si_code is displayed as “unknown" in the hs_err file. This change adds
additional si_code defines so the memory allocation faults that trigger the JVM to core are displayed correctly in the hs_err file.
The changes also include a test that preloads the libadimalloc.so library, generates a libadimalloc.so memory allocation fault that crashes
the JVM and then verifies that the correct si_code information is displayed in the hs_err file.
